Last 50 of 82- 1997 vfr750 Idle speed adjustment 8 minutes ago, mwlehman Hi all, I was wondering what is involved in adjusting idle on a 1997 VFR750, idle is that slow it shuts off..guy wants $1000 for bike, been dropped and needs work but overall not bad bike…
- Thermostat issue? 49 minutes ago, bykemike Thanks Glenn, that slightly rich smell bugs me but less and less. This bike runs so good, never misses a beat from idle to red line, every time smooth as silk, 200 + miles per tank. I would…
- Thermostat issue? 34 minutes ago, 750 I think there's a bit of exaggeration going on here. The VFR's ALL show a low needle rise, my 94 barely breaks an 8th in normal riding but hits half way on a summers day in stop start London traffic…
- Thermostat issue? My '90 was like this when I bought it - actually I am not 100% positive the needle moved that single needle width or not, but I think it did. Anyway, consensus was to replace the temp sender - that it was a common…
- What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? Yes, fingers crossed.
- What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? Try the needle clips in the 4th groove and see what that does.
- purchased a 1992 Honda VFR Welcome! That sure is nice. I like the look of the smoked signal lenses. That is a HAPPY picture - somehow very refreshing! Here is my storage solution. There is lots of room for a weekend's worth of gear. Both are Joe…
- What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? 7 hours ago, crenninger pilot screw: 2 turns out Bowl - 10mm should I change any of that? Pilot screw initial setting should be 1-1/2 turns for the 49 state bike or 2-1/2 turns for a California bike. Bowl - 10mm? Is…
- What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? Great. Look for the "paper method" for bench synching. You can vacuum synch after. The bench synch will get you close for starting/driving after carb install. Curious to know what Steve had the pilots set at vs stock.…
- What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? Yes. The jetting should be correct for the exhaust. The K&N by itself wouldn't need a jetting change, but sometimes people do it. Try what you have. If you want to change the needles after, not a big deal. Be sure to do…
- What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? OK, you got the FULL Two Bros left exit system. That's AWESOME - like the Holy Grail of exhaust systems! In that case, the 40/132 combo is good. I would do a proper cleaning INCLUDING using an ultrasonic cleaner and put…
- What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? Sounds like someone bumped the jets up to the next size because of the K&N air filter and Two Brothers exhaust. The exhaust on it's own wouldn't require rejetting since the collector is still used, but maybe it felt…
- 1997 750, Popping/Clicking, Believed to be Chain I always keep my chains adjusted to the loose end of the spec to put as little stress on the output shaft bearing as possible. Cheers, Glenn
- Vfr 750 - 92 13 minutes ago, Jock3 What did you find? 😧 The 2 that come to mind were loose coolant hose clamps and the bracket that holds the thermostat housing to the engine wasn't reconnected. Just little things, but still made…
- Vfr 750 - 92 4 hours ago, Jock3 I know, even though I bought the bike "recently serviced" I believe they've missed some good stuff.... Yes, I found a few obvious things on mine that were "missed" during the dealer servicing the…
- Vfr 750 - 92 2 hours ago, Jock3 Cause of pressure loss in the tire : broken air nozzle. 👍 Every new tire should automatically get a new valve unless the existing valve is a good metal one. Then it should get a new core. Why dealers…
- Reg/Rec caught on fire... Holy shit, that's horrible! One good thing is you were marshalling when it happened and had the fire extinguishers. Hopefully the damage is limited to the R/R, plug, plastic and seat. That's all fairly easy to replace.…
- Charging system updated Thank you vegaquark. I had previously shared my experience over on the other VFR board only to have a member write a rant tearing up my efforts. I thought maybe the members here might be more appreciative of my…
- Charging system updated 1 hour ago, vegaquark Woha, some overthinking over here [image: emoji23.png] [image: emoji23.png] You've got to keep it simple, if it works don't mess with it. There are other points to check out on that bike for sure.…
- Charging system updated Hi folks, I started the charging system rejuvenation process last year. My system was working perfectly 12.5-13v at idle, 13.8-14.1v at 1500 RPM & 14.4v at 5000 RPM, but I wanted to insure against future problems. My…
- 1997 750, Popping/Clicking, Believed to be Chain If you see that kind of wear on your rear sprocket, go ahead and order both sprockets and a chain. If you search around you may find a package deal and save a few bucks. Cheers, Glenn
- Just picked up a 93 vfr750f AWESOME!
- Hiya to all you two wheel tear aways . Nice, Dutchy! Friends of yours? :tongue:
- Hiya to all you two wheel tear aways . Welcome to the club! Yeah, I like the 3rd gens best. Take good care of the plastics, though, rare as hens teeth. Orange is the new black. Oh wait, that was a TV series. Yes, someone got creative with the colours.…
- New Member / New Bike (93) Welcome! She looks like new in the pictures. I always liked pearl white. Cheers, Glenn
- Just picked up a 93 vfr750f Pull the slave and clamp the piston in so it cannot move, then bleed it again.
- Tale of 2 Bikes Cool, been on NICO for years.
- Tale of 2 Bikes Welcome Nismo. I know there's an "X" in there somewhere, but suspect there might be a NISMO related 4 wheeler in your garage, too. MAN!!! That would have been a near impossible decision for me - a 955 Sprint ST Fuelie…
- 3rd Gen replacement Windscreen options http://www.powerbronzeusa.com/823230/818268/831915/FLIP---HONDA-,VFR750F,-90-93---CLEAR.item I think this is the same as mine. [image: 15030041a.thumb.jpg.caad1cea9d0a6b6816d776e8dea0e4aa.jpg] [image: 15030042a.jpg]
- Vfr 750 - 92 5mm is not much difference, really, unless you're working things out and training on a race track. Most riders in drive-on-the-right countries may be predisposed to lean more and more naturally to the right. Then there…
- Vfr 750 - 92 I hope that is the "before riding" picture! :beer:
- Vfr 750 - 92 Probably vibration damping to prevent tingling, ticklish feet.
- Vfr 750 - 92 Hi Jock, Welcome home! Nice VFR - and a nice eclectic collection of previous bikes, too! That's a great tip on clearing the windshield hazing/cloudiness. I hadn't heard that before. Cheers, Glenn
- Weird idle on my '90 (video) OK, I've thought about it a bit more and checked my manual. 1) The compression numbers you gave us are weird - too low (spec is 199 psi @ 400 RPM - anybody else get close to this?) and the spread is too big (10% is…
- rear view mirrors 2 hours ago, RC1237V My right mirror fell off today on Mt Hamilton - had to walk back and get it, glass is now broken. The 1200 is out of commission and the SV650 race bike won't start. DRZ is the only one left that is…
- What else to do?! Haha, thanks. I'll keep it in mind. I have one, but both rear tabs are broken. I have one of the broken tabs, so hopefully can get them sorted this summer. Cheers, Glenn
- What else to do?! I'd say uncover that beautiful seat, ride it with a beautiful girl holding on tight and send me that horrible seat cowl... :wink: Cheers, Glenn
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story Something like this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-1157-High-Power-Amber-Yellow-SMD-LED-Front-Turn-Signal-Light-Bulbs-Lamp-/231335422281?hash=item35dcaa6949:g:Fb0AAOSwNSxVZM~V&vxp=mtr - for the front ones.
- bikes sold I still think it's electrical - likely a high resistance switch that needs cleaning - start switch, kill switch, clean & check battery connections, etc. Check that stuff before you sell it too cheap. You don't have…
- 3Rd Gen Vfr750F Ninja Zx14R Rear Shock Swap Nifty7Fifty, 10/19/2016 at 0:01 AM Hey Glenn just checking in here... Congrats on the move and hope you're settled in good now! Can't wait to hear your report after doing the mod. Still all good, in fact, everyone who…
- 3Rd Gen Vfr750F Ninja Zx14R Rear Shock Swap 10 hours ago, Nifty7Fifty Just checkin in. . . Awesome riding weather here in the NorthEast lately. I'm really diggin the way it handles with the red spring now. I'm set about halfway on the "comp", a tad tighter on the…
- 3Rd Gen Vfr750F Ninja Zx14R Rear Shock Swap Great feedback, Nifty! Thanks. I'm like you and then some - well north of 215 lbs in gear. We're getting ready for a cross country move, so no more wrenching on the bikes until next winter. Then it gets the ZX-14 shock,…
- Clicking noise from somewhere in the engine bdouvill, 7/15/2016 at 3:09 AM Common problem on motorcycle (not VFR related I think) is improper tension adjustement of the drive chain that applies too much force on the gearbox drive shaft bearing. It is designed to…
- Weird idle on my '90 (video) 7 minutes ago, BluRoad Garage update: 1. When any of the air vent tubes are blocked off the engine dies. 2. Adjusting any of the pilot screws does nothing to the running of the engine, even running them completely in.…
- 1997 750 vfr street fighter project 13 hours ago, royboy347 i just read i think it was sebspeed said he couldn't get the low fuel light to work. just wondering what the problem was? I just remembered that when I was putting LED's in my Trophy I was told…
- 1997 750 vfr street fighter project 7 hours ago, royboy347 Wow awsome! Now my concern is making them work worth leds. Because it's listing specific watts wondering if it will work with led? I know Sometimes it has to be a certain draw to work? LED's will…
- 1997 750 vfr street fighter project 3 hours ago, royboy347 the pictures will continue to roll in. all these pictures where a few weeks old. where i am now at a standstill with some of the wiring. deciding what to keep and what to ditch. ive searched and…
- 3Rd Gen Vfr750F Ninja Zx14R Rear Shock Swap Thanks for the update! Hmm, the way I see it there should be clearance when the bike is on the ground. Why don't you jack up the swingarm a bit to see? Curious how much load is needed. Cheers, Glenn Edited June 6, 2016…
- Instrument & Warning Light Numbers? No replies must mean the answer is here somewhere. I'll search again.
- Clutch/transmission Juddery And No Neutral Is it possible the shift lever is way out of adjustment and your current gear range is 2-6? In other words, adjustment won't allow neutral or first gear and your actually starting out in 2nd gear. Cheers, Glenn
